Au Pair

[Freamon]

You may get a more constructive response from Mumsnet, assuming it's not rag week over there...

Probably not a good idea to take advice from an internet forum on such matters, but instead get a proper divorce lawyer.

And what do you expect from a contractor website that is primarily inhabited by technologists? Why not go to dadsnet or some other divorce website?

I must admit I'm a little surprised there is a "dadsnet", but given it exists, I'm not really surprised it's mainly about divorces.

There are some good cashback offers on divorces at the moment:

For divorce finance issues getting a good lawyer helps. But for access you are probably better off on your own. There are places you can get free help.

He's worried about getting custody of the kids and starts a thread titled "Au Pair"?

Churchill looks like you got too excited when you read the title .........

It's possible. I got custody of my daughter after the divorce, which was nice, but I left work and didnt get back into full employment for ten years. which was tough.

The courts will act in the childs best interest (ideally), you just have to convince them.
a few dirty tricks are good too

OK thanks all.

I was actually asking about hiring an Au Pair and hoping that would enable me to continue working, and convince any court that someone was there to attend to the kids during the day (before / after school).

I know this forum is mostly visited with fcukwits like Churchill, but some of you have similar experiences (we're contractors) and thanks for the feedback. I'll of course seek professional advice - (some of you assume I wouldn't).

Thanks Guys - closed now.

Thanks.

Btw, you'd rather pay a stranger to look after your kids than their mother? Well you married her. Btw, I think you got sod all chance. Do report back.

Come back anytime.

really?

This could easily become a new TPD thread.

So, would you hire an Au Pair that does not like naked fully grown gladiators bleeding radiators?
